Where: Stellenbosch
When: 3rd December
Who: Inky, Rich, Nick
Why: Good question. Who really cares about an Argus seeding??
The final seeding race for next year's Cape Argus, Tour d' Winelands is coming up... but the question is: do we really care? I ain't a roadie, dammit! The route is "approximately" 112km (just goes to confirm my beliefs on PPA and it's organisational abilities...) Still, it should be a fun ride and be a good opportunity to get some base riding in... and hit a wine farm or two on the way home...

Die Hel, otherwise known as Gamkaskloof, is in the middle of nowhere - it's bloody hot and dry and to get there you have to go over Swartberg pass... fabulous! A two-day stage race, you ride 60km each day, climbing over 1900m per day. Nuts.... and awesome!!

Upcoming (12 March) - Cape Argus Cycle Tour
March 07, 2006 by Rich
Where? Cape Peninsula
When? 12th March 2006
What? Road cycling
Who? The world and its dog
Why? To be part of it?
Cape Argus Cycle tour is coming up - if you haven't got your entry in, bad luck....! Something like 35 000 cyclists are expected in Cape Town this weekend (I think that newspaper reporter was on drugs) so things certainly are going to be busy.
It's a beatiful, scenic 109km route taking us on a grand tour of the Cape Peninsula. If you aren't taking part, make sure you're at the roadside cheering on the pros, amateurs and everyday Joes taking part!
More info at the official site.
